Aidan's sputum culture showed MRSA. The doc wanted a pure sample and thought it was probably only in his sinuses as they are Aidan's biggest problem. Nope. Even though his lungs looked great, they cultured MRSA. Totally bummed.
He started on Bactrim but I wonder if we should hit it right away with IVs. He is scheduled for a port on Nov 6 to start IVs before his sinus surgery. Is that too long to wait?
The infectious disease doc said we did not need to be cultured b/c some of the treatments haven't been found to be effective in getting rid of it. I think I'd rather know if my husband and I have it and try the treatment so we don't just keep passing it back and forth.
I don't know what to expect. I know some who have no issues with MRSA and some who have tons. Is it really, really bad that it is indeed in his lungs? Thanks.
